Anger or Agony
One path is filled with anger,
Darkened with hate,
Swirling with spiteful desires.
The other is filled with pain,
Littered with sad memories,
Pulsing with the beating of a wounded heart.
If I must choose one path,
The choice would not be so clear,
For each one bears an abundance of dreadful surprises.
But is anger as dreadful as agony?
Are sad memories not more toxic than the feeling of hate?
Would spiteful desires not be easier to cope with than a wounded heart?
Anger clouds the mind, but pain cripples the soul,
Hate turns the heart cold, but sad memories tear it apart,
Spiteful desires fuel the fires of rage, but a wounded heart bleeds.
Who could be blamed, if forced with the choice,
Who would not take the lesser of two evils,
Who would rather wallow in grief and agony,
Than spiral in the painless storm that is anger?

I Hate...
I hate that I still think of you
And that I want you around.
I hate all the memories
Because you kept my feet on the ground.
I hate the fact that you’re happy.
Even without me in your life.
I hate that you’re always on my mind
And every day seems to be strife.
I hate that you’ve moved on
And I’m just a faded memory.
I hate that she’s the one beside you
And even more that it’s not me.
I hate that even in my anger
I can’t and still don’t hate you the way I’d like.
I hate this feeling I have
It feels like I’ve been stabbed with a spike
I hate that my heart aches
And I can’t get it to go away
I hate that you’re gone forever
And in my heart again you will never stay.

Dear hate...
Dear hate...
Who am i meeting today?
Is it Fury? Rage? Pain?
im hosting Depression, anger,
and you...hate. And sadness...
She came yesturday
and she's been crying ever since.
Was it you? Making her cry?
I felt your wars inside of me,
You and anger,
Batteling ferociously, while
Depression sit's in the corner
Turning all black with his soft whispers of
'you aren't enough! ''
And Sadness sobbed
Which fueled your hate
And fueled angers anger.
Pain and Rage burst in
with a bleeding roar
Pain rests on my heart,
tired from her agony,
She bleeds through,
and, God, how it aches.
Rage joins
Yours and angers battle.
Who will rule my actions?
Who will rule my thoughts?
Who will rule my words?
You, and Depression, seem,
to have stolen my thoughts...Ruler of all.
You send Rage an Pain
to weave into my words
and anger and sadness
flow into my actions
All i hear is roaring, sobbing, agony
buzzing in my ears, words, thoughts,
and all i see when i look into the mirror
is fury swimming
in the eyes of a broken soul,
shattered and unwhole
like if i broke the mirror
watched it splinter into a million pieces,
then sent each piece to a different place,
Would they come back?
No...they would be lost forever,
With the mirror frame
Standing bare and empty,
Containing only memories of what used to be
It's wholeness is gone, and it is lost
And if some pieces did come back,
there would still be cracks,
and missing pieces...unwole.
Fixing the mirror, would be like fixing me
...impossible.
And like that frame, frames emptiness
I do to, except for my basic frame
Which is built from Pain, Depression,
Rage, anger, and you...hate.
Yours forever
Your Captured Soul

Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger takes a mighty toll
Anger lessens but can never leave
Anger you hope to never receive,
Anger stays forever within
Anger acts with the might of all sin
Anger is deadly to all around
Anger gets mad at the thought of sound
Anger is the thoughts in my head
Anger that’s mine all should dread
Anger for me is different from you
Anger you see tells me what to do
Anger will sit and whisper in my ear
Anger he sits and tells me all that you fear,
Anger…
He is here
He’s here to stay
Anger is the hole
In which we lay
Anger is
And Anger will
Always be with us
He is in me, and he is in you
He can make you do
What he wants you to
Anger will make you
Make you cry
Anger can make you
Want to die
Anger can make you
Go insane
Anger….. ... A blood filled rain
No more anger
No more…..
Walk to the bright light
Shinning through that door…
Not knowing what’s in store
But even then
Anger lives on
But you… nevermore

Isn't this Heart Broken Enough?
Why must you tease me
Why must you hate me
Isn’t this heart broken enough
Why do you hate me
Make me take all your anger
Isn’t this heart broken enough
Why do kiss me
If your love is untrue
Isn’t this heart broken enough
Why did you pull the trigger
When you knew I was there
Why do you make me feel the pain
Of you not being there
Take all my anger
And all my pain
Turn it into
something I can gain
Now it’s the pain of a broken heart
Now it’s the pain of an unrequited love
Its pain of a heart shrouded in darkness
It’s the pain of this heart
It’s the pain in my heart

Livin in anger
Anger that has no ending
Anger that has no fear
Anger that has no wants
Anger that has no needs
Anger that will keep comin
Anger that will keep hurtin
Anger that will keep killin
Livin in love
Love that lives forever
Love that everyone needs
Love that will surpass everything

Love that will make your life hard
Love that is so pure
Love that is so hateful
Livin in hate
Hate that haunts and haunts
Hate that creeps and sneaks
Hate that makes the best out of situations
Hate that makes the worst out of situations
Hate that tells the truth
Hate that people hide
Hate that people express with words
Hate that can and cannot be controlled
Hate that runs the world
Hate that everyone has

Man is potato.
Ego wounded, anger bursts.
Senses purred, desires spurt.
The built in anger and desire
Work as drives for man efforts.
Assaulted by a white in Africa,
Gandhi fought against the whites in India.
Enamoured by the cute Cleopatra,
Julius Caesar helped her get her throne.
It’s anger that spurs you.
It’s desire that tempts you.
Without anger or desire
A man is mere potato.

The Heart’s Of Men
It is said that ‘the heart's of men
are bad from their youth upwards.’
Sometimes the heart's of men
are provoked inflamed
by incidents that happen to them
men especially seem to carry
such anger more than most women
a mild reproach quietly spoken
may still inflame such souls
the truth a barb hooking
such souls in guilt fury livid
apparently the truth is
a two edged sword
beware back swipes!
what is real truth?
‘many a true word was
spoken in anger’
‘the truth will have its day’
about anger what to say?
Let us answer truthfully.
If we confess to believe in God
then we also believe in Satan
who desires to sow hate and anger.
We choose who we will serve!
Jesus said to give him our anger
to carry, and this we must strive to do.
With practice seems easier to do.
All that is good in me
comes from God
and his divine wisdom.
I do not judge I discern.
I did not promise God
I would not sin because
in thoughts and deeds
I fail constantly.
But I try and of the two
most important commandments
Jesus spoke of at Matthew
22: 37-40, the first is easy.
“You must love Jehovah your God
with your whole heart and with your
whole soul and with your whole mind.
This is the greatest and first commandment.
The second, like it, is this,
‘You must love your neighbour as yourself.’
On these two commandments the
whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”
But the second (The whole world
is our neighbour! Unlike Stephen
I would not be praying to God to
forgive those stoning me to death.
But I have come a long way
and God willing still have far to go.

The EnD
Tears which flows, not into the river, torrents which swirl into pain - Agony so deep cuts the anger in vain, whats left is the broken of a heart, can enough ever stop - Cry not because of death but the want to be in dead - Hate which stimulates the loss of love, the want, the need, the have to - Sealed by your memories, fake rains so your mind can burn the rest of your faith - Clawing onto hope just to be in flames with the reality, your mistake is the end

Lets Promote Peace
Can I give u some advice, don't be angry
you can't fight anger with anger,
you can't fight ignorance with hate
you can't put out a fire by throwing fuel on it
true we want peace, so let's encourage peace
laugh, smile be happy, do what u do
dance, sing, be merry
but don't be angry
Don't give in to the terror
don't be like them, don't be angry
Trust me I know, its a disease
it won't go away, and it grows and grows
Yes we will fight, but not with anger
not like an animal, not like that beast
Don't serve that beast
Their is a purpose, a mission
reach out to the heart of others
there must be education, enlightenment
let us promote peace
but don't be angry, let it go
If u were to wash someones heart,
like a stone idol is washed outwardly
the hate will be removed
the soul will be cleansed
dont let the anger sit in your mind
don't let him sit their,
keep that seat; for peace of mind
the calm mind, that will bring peace
within you, and outside of you

The Root Of All Evil
Anger,
The root of all evil,
Dwells in your heart.
Anger,
Towards me,
For what I have done.
As time passes,
The anger grows,
Until it has engulfed your,
Entire mind, soul and,
Your entire being.
Irrationality goes hand in hand,
With the anger you,
Conceal in your very,
Troubled heart.
Irrationally you judge,
Irrationally you blame,
But I have irrationally acted,
And I know I have hurt you.
In my own anger,
I have pierced the heart,
That I once cared for,
The heart I once held close,
To my own,
But now that heart,
I have torn.
The words I said,
Have been forgotten,
The anger I felt,
Has been relived,
But you broken still,
Remain.
I am truly sorry,
For my harsh words and,
For my rash actions,
They were only in anger,
And anger,
Is the root of all evil.

Today Hate Is Taking Over Me
Today is one of those days
Hate is the only thing in my head
Everything I push away for this day
Today, today I just want to be alone
While the anger taking over me
Instead of the sadness I use to love
Now I’m alone feel the cold air going in my room
Feeling nothing but my heart betting
Thinking what I should do to get away for the anger out of me
so I’m sitting here writing away make myself think so the anger
can go away until I need it once again

Fuming Hatred
They fuel my anger,
they fuel my hate.
They boil my blood,
my hate is great.
I want to kill,
I want to maim.
I want to feed
the burning flame.
Lord give me strength,
Lord give me hope.
I don't know how,
I'm supposed to cope.
I feel it burn,
I feel it gnaw.
My heart has chilled,
and it won't thaw.
I want to embrace,
and yet I hide.
I am filled,
with too much pride.
I say not no,
I say not yes.
My soul has lost,
it's lively zest.
Will you ever forgive me?
Of this I ask.
For being tainted,
from these infernal tasks.
Anger Is One Letter Short Of Danger
Anger is fire
It burns the soul
Anger is deep sea
Drowns one to death
Anger is a storm
Blows one
Out of the world
Anger is demon
Overpowers the mind
Anger is a virus
Slowly kills a person
Anger is evil
Brings one closer to hell
Anger is madness
Makes one suffer
Anger is an enemy
Destroys one slowly
Turns friendship
Into enmity
Always remember
Anger is
One letter short of
Danger
It takes its toll
Does not spare
A single soul

The Powers of Hate
Hate is the opposite of love.
These emotions are powerful.
Hate stirs up conflicts and wars.
Discrimination is a cause of hate.
People say hate is a powerful word.
It is indeed a powerful word hate.
Hate brings on Anxiety
Anxiety leads to fear.
Fear brings on anger.
Anger leads to suffering.
Suffering causes death.
This feeling is dark and dreadful.
Hate is represented by the color black.
Such a dark deep color like hate.
In the dictionary there are too many words that mean hate.
Does all Humanity hate each other.
People hate you for your beliefs, interests, dress, even the way you look.
Thinking that hate will be a solved problem is only a madman's dream.

Like Father, Like Daughter
My Heart is filled with anger and hatred,
So pure and liquid like blood,
Gently dripping from my open wounds,
Though I feel no pain as I watch in wonder,
With eyes of blue, inherited from you,
You, and all of your curses, constant shouts,
You, and all of your anger, constant fears,
You, and all of your lies, constant hate,
Yet I feel no pain as I watch in wonder...

Drowning In Rage
My heart bleeds tears,
tears of pain and self-hatred
The overwhelming feeling...
the feeling engulfs me,
the tears continue
falling like rain
my soul and mind are full
and the feeling of rage and anger is overwhelming
(And all) I see is red...
Blood red anger, and pain
I scream, but sound is gone
An overwhelming urge to escape
runs through my viens
I want to rip my chest open
and escape this omnipresent martyrdom
and breathe
To Aly; I'm very sorry...
